1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

1. We have combined patch clamp recording with simultaneous [Ca2+]i measurements in single LNCaP cells (a human prostate cancer cell line), to study the activation of Ca2+-permeable channels by two different inducers of apoptosis, ionomycin and serum deprivation. 2. In perforated patch recording, LNCaP cells had a membrane potential of -40 mV and a resting [Ca2+]i of 90 nM. Application of ionomycin at levels that induced apoptosis in these cells (10 microM) produced a biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i. The first rise in [Ca2+]i was due to release of Ca2+ from internal stores and it was associated with a membrane hyperpolarization to -77 mV. The latter was probably due to the activation of high conductance, Ca2+- and voltage-dependent K+ channels (maxi-K). Conversely, the second rise in [Ca2+]i was always preceded by and strictly associated with membrane depolarization and required external Ca2+. Serum deprivation, another inducer of apoptosis, unmasked a voltage-independent Ca2+ permeability as well. 3. A lower concentration of ionomycin (1 microM) did not induce apoptosis, and neither depolarized LNCaP cells nor produced the biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i. However, the first increment in [Ca2+]i due to release from internal Ca2+ stores was evident at this concentration of ionomycin. 4. Simultaneous recordings of [Ca2+]i and ion channel activity in the cell attached configuration of patch clamp revealed a Ca2+-permeable, Ca2+-independent, non-selective cation channel of 23 pS conductance. This channel was activated only during the second increment in [Ca2+]i induced by ionomycin. The absence of serum activated the 23 pS channel as well, albeit at a lower frequency than with ionomycin. 5. Thus, the 23 pS channel can be activated by two unrelated inducers of apoptosis and it could be another Ca2+ influx mechanism in programmed cell death of LNCaP cells.
